As far as i understand, these are for Flatpak applications. So if you use Materia as your Gnome skin and you have those Flatpak installed, Flatpak applications will also be skinned with the Materia theme. If you don’t install them, Flatpak applications would use the default.

… and i figured out why i had problems with libmarco-dev (marco-devel) ../autogen.sh --disable-mate should solve this issue. another try with plata. i can’t concentrate on my personal work on vanilla : it’s simply “unaesthetic” & therefore “distracting”.

you’re right. /usr is managed by cl, except /usr/local . now the icon-theme is in /usr/share/icons/ . let’s move it, to be d’accord with the stateless design. --disable-mate did the trick (for plata). it was amazing to watch the show (build process). i see (“show your desktop”) you did some tweaks too. looks great. my result is on reddit: cl-unixp.

unfortunately the comments there have worsened again in the meantime (“pet-whatever”, et cetera). people always see only the worst, without the cognitive capacity to take a different perspective over time & “to compare”. there’s a lot to compare in the linux-world.

there was a meta-reason for the post: the post/title before. and reddit is a great source for information, as long as you stay out of discussions. of course i will do more things on/with cl, but i have a complicated job/project too & my limits. the limits must be set, otherwise a burnout awaits me (again).
